Prognosis

About 15% to 20% of women with complete molar pregnancies and 0.5% to 5% of women with partial molar pregnancies develop GTN and require chemotherapy.[4]​[42] However, the cure rate for these conditions exceeds 95%.[34]​

Women with a previous diagnosis of hydatidiform mole have a 1% to 2% (or about 10 times the baseline) risk of a molar gestation in a subsequent pregnancy.[8]​[9]​ Women should be followed closely in subsequent pregnancies.[3]​ (see Prevention)
